On September 29, 2007 I married the love of my life. No one tried to stop me. Our family and friends gathered, drank (a lot), danced, and celebrated with us the joy that we’ve found in each other. Every day when I wake up next to my husband, I’m grateful that I get to experience marriage, because it truly is… Read more →

Amy and Goose – the setup.
This trip to NY is proving wonderful for many reasons. The ladies of 224 were reunited under one roof. Dashiell can now point in response to the question “Where’s Morgan” without having to think about it too hard. And Amy and Magnus (or “Goose” as Scott likes to call him) are getting married tomorrow. Today, after a lovely diner breakfast… Read more →
Bad Bride
I’ve been feeling bad about myself lately. As I watch Jodi and Neal dive into Wedding Planning (!!!!) all the crazy memories of my own betrothal have come flooding back. I’ve realized that as hard as [Scott and] I worked to plan our wedding, I totally dropped the ball in terms of properly documenting it. A crazy thing happens… Read more →
Wii Warrior
So, the real pose is called Virabhadrasana, and apparently the variation that appears on Wii Fit is technically Virabhadrasana 2 (or Warrior 2) but I’m officially making this my first Wii Fit Yoga Pose of the day. About the Warrior Pose/Virabhadrasana: It may seem strange to name a yoga pose after a warrior; after all, aren’t yogis known for they’re… Read more →

Woot woot! Who loves a sale?
Yeah…I’m on the J. Crew mailing list. What of it? What if you have to spend an impromtu weekend on Bald Head Island, and you don’t have anything boat-y to wear? Then you’ll wish you listened to me when I told you about this sale. Read more →
Something Bridal
It’s been a year and four months since Scott and I said “I do” and I still haven’t ordered our wedding album. My parents ordered theirs, and the brilliant Leigh Miller did a great job putting it together. So now I’m jealous, and I’m finally attempting to place our album order, but with 3000+ beautiful photos of the people I… Read more →

I’ve put just a few of my favorites for your viewing pleasure above, but check her out @ besmartbegreen.com for a full catalogue of designs, and to find out how to… Read more →
366 Days Later
That’s what a one year old defrosted top tier of a wedding cake looks like. (I put the cake topper back on it for kicks.) Today is the Hubs and I’s 1st anniversary. (Well, first wedding anniversary…and actually pretty close to the thirteen year anniversary of our fateful meeting in front of the Mountain Dew machine at Notre Dame high… Read more →
